Tiffany DeVann, a PHEAA higher education access partner and co-host of the segment, said the programs are intended to draw students into in-demand occupations and keep them working in Pennsylvania. \"You do have an agreement that you have to stick to,\" DeVann said, adding that failing to meet program commitments \"would turn into a student loan.\"

Deanna Brown, the co-host and a PHEAA higher education access partner, outlined the Grow PA grant’s basic limits: \"Students can get a maximum award of a $5,000 grant, up to a maximum of 4 academic years,\" she said. Brown also said more than 460 programs or majors have been identified as eligible under the initiative and that the program is administered on a first-come, first-served basis.

PHEAA staff described other targeted supports: a Pennsylvania Student Teacher Support Program aimed at encouraging teachers, Pennsylvania Student Loan Relief for Nurses, and a number of special grants including a blind or deaf beneficiary grant. The agency also described PATH (Partnerships for Access to Higher Education), a scholarship-match program; DeVann said PHEAA \"could possibly do a dollar for dollar match up to a maximum of $5,000\" for PATH-nominated students who meet the program’s qualifications.

Officials emphasized that completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is a prerequisite for some state awards. \"In order to be considered for the Pennsylvania state grant, you must first complete the FAFSA application,\" DeVann said, noting that PHEAA will contact students by the email they list on the FAFSA with follow-up instructions. The presenters urged students to check PHEAA’s website and to create an account now so they can complete state grant forms when announced.

PHEAA repeatedly directed listeners to pheaa.org for full eligibility rules and application deadlines, and reminded students and families to pay attention to school priority deadlines for aid.

The segment did not include formal votes or policy enactments; presenters described program rules and application procedures and encouraged prospective applicants to review official materials on PHEAA’s website.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","EP68 - Hot Topics: Special Programs and Public Service","oneSentenceSummary","The Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) highlighted several funding programs for Pennsylvania students during a recorded \"Higher Education Access Corner\" segment, including the Grow PA grant, a student-teacher support program, Pennsylvania Student Loan Relief for Nurses and the PATH scholarship match.","taxTitle","Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency, EDUCATION & ARTS, Executive Departments, Organizations, Executive, Pennsylvania","taxId",36818,"location","Pennsylvania","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6079590,"PHEAA’s PA School Services team offers free FAFSA workshops, classroom visits and one-on-one counseling",298,686000,984000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2955426-43149d5d2073d429ff906f8ce862b344&start=686&end=984","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2955426-43149d5d2073d429ff906f8ce862b344/thumbnail_686000.jpg","/articles/6079590/Pennsylvania/PHEAAs-PA-School-Services-team-offers-free-FAFSA-workshops-classroom-visits-and-one-on-one-counseling","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6079590-a93168e4fa5b0b898624f87484483f57/orig.mp4?Expires=1770709930&Signature=m-zCCGc~BLffbgidnaf8p65N8EmqZH4hJuKpiiJ9FpzEsKMlgrXzoxexAgHMagUhCs26aH7fzoqXRTTl8XOy6lMY9Q-DofmRx4kkUlupK9vzk9-KTYGHKF8CxyqryeXa1dmFLBH5LS2QTgQDC3niTjJLvts2Wqqk4nKC00vjWeKhnlC63jQAkWm4PyCOg8r91p8Octp9EC4wxh1ZeYfdCzL-riIPTZOOtmQYegt2SUx43Hr4VuVwMeLWBipsaaQeJOsYMVXmq4UIhna9cfEdriSpgLBy-aOuX7Fafo0oTbsFaUBaMhTxA1VSI8trGfqqdYphoYdDG2kki~QAR7PfTA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency’s (PHEAA) PA School Services team provides statewide outreach including FAFSA workshops, financial-literacy presentations, classroom visits and one-on-one counseling, agency staff said during a recorded \"Higher Education Access Corner\" segment.

Diana, director of PHEAA’s PA School Services team, described a team of 13 higher education access partners who ‘‘are located all throughout the state of Pennsylvania’’ and who work with high schools, postsecondary schools and community organizations to run financial aid nights, FAFSA workshops and college fairs. \"These are typically about an hour long presentation where we go over the financial aid process from A to Z,\" Diana said.

Staff said the services are free and can be customized for community events, classroom lessons or legislative offices. The team also produces free publications and runs online tools to help students plan and borrow responsibly, including EducationPlanner.org and My Smart Borrowing; they also mentioned a financial-literacy site described in the segment as \"You Can Deal With It.\" PHEAA staff encouraged schools and families to request one-on-one appointments for help completing FAFSA forms.

Diana said access partners collaborate with legislators and community organizations to bring events to local areas. The team also supports college and career planning through classroom visits and professional financial aid conferences to keep materials current.

As an aside near the close of the segment, staff noted that Michael Burke, an access partner on PHEAA’s Eastern team, is retiring after 22 years. Presenters wished him well and said the agency will continue to serve communities across the state.

No formal agency actions or policy changes were announced in the segment; presenters described ongoing outreach services and directed listeners to PHEAA’s website for contact information and regional access-partner listings.","PHEAA said its PA School Services team of 13 access partners provides free financial-literacy presentations, FAFSA workshops, college- and career-planning tools and one-on-one counseling across Pennsylvania, and the agency noted an upcoming access partner retirement","actionData","errors"]
